Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, with a nice touch of quality and a small balcony offering lovely views over the greenway. The service was top-notch, especially in ensuring safety measures with hand sanitizers placed all over. The location was stunning, nestled in well-cared-for gardens with beautiful golf course surroundings. The dining experience was good overall, with good selections available. However, having no vegetarian options was a drawback. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall enjoyable experience.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a great view of the grounds, but it may be noisy due to the generator. The service was a bit busy and had some issues with finding reservations at check-in. The location, set in stunning gardens with access to a beautiful golf course, offers a peaceful stay. The dining options vary in quality and price. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and challenges.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were beautifully decorated, overlooking the gardens and offering a sense of luxury. However, the service was a bit rough at check-in, but improved throughout my stay. The location, set on a stunning golf course, was marvelous, though the dining options were slightly lacking. Overall, a lovely place to stay with some minor drawbacks.
